l TO ALL WHOMUIT .MAY` CONCERN: V-

B'e it Vknorvin that I, GEORGED.' GILLETT, o` Meridian, in the' county of Cayuga, and State of N ew York,' have invented lnew and improved Method of .Attaching Pad-Hooks to Pads and I do herebydeclare thatthe following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which-will enable those skilled in the art to make and t use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Fgurel is a. plan view of my' improvement.

-Figure 2 is a cross-section, and

Figures 3 and 4 show modifications of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

This invention consists in providing theshank of aharness-pad hook-sith a. system of shoulders and hooks` for embracing the pad, so that but little other i'asteni'A is required, and the hooks are secured tol their pads in a very permanent and reliable manner, 'as hereinafter more fully eizplained.

t .In the accompanying dawings,`iA d, 4figs. 1 and 2, is the pad, and B is the pad-hook. The shank of the hook is provided with shoulders, b l1, uponits upper side, land with a. shoulder, b', Vside,.an'd is then'sewed in between the tyvoparts A z of thepnd.

With the use of the shoulders b b Mend hookfc, the fastening is `so much relieved of str hook remains rigidly fixed `in its position, and does notwork .loose by 'use.

The upper shoulders 6 b can be dispensed with,vand the shank ofthe. hook setzwholly above the pad, ns shown in figs'. 3 and-4, and a screw, 'd,.be usedto secure the hook in its position'on the pad, insteadf of stitching it inbetweeh the layers of,` the padLas before mentioned.' The hooks c can be' placed upon either end of the shank,xas shown.

Having lthus described my`invention., wha t I' claim as new, and' desire to secure by Letters Patent,iis-

In combination with the lpajdhookB, I 'claim' the book aand shoulder b', with or without the shoulders 6 b, ns h'ereinshown, and for the purpose described. 1
